Brief description

https://churchnearme.co.uk/churches/st-bartholomew-sealand/

"St Bartholomew’s Church lies on the English Welsh border, four miles from Chester. It draws its congregation from both sides and we feel that we benefit from being in the heart of this cross border culture.

The church was designed by John Douglas, an internationally acclaimed architect who was based in Chester at the time. Construction began in 1865 with sandstone quarried from nearby Helsby Hill and it opened its doors for worship on 15 Oct 1867.

Now a Grade 2 listed building, the church has changed little since its construction and the original fixtures and fittings are still in place. The interior is ashlar (dressed stone) and an open rafted ceiling covers the single nave and chancel.

The architect John Douglas donated the east window, ‘Christ Crucified’. The designer was John Hardman Powell, a nephew of A.W.N. Pugin and former pupil. His designs include windows in the Houses of Parliament and St Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney.

The west window, of the Twelve Apostles, was erected in 1880 and is attributed to Charles Eamer Kempe (1837-1907), a Victorian stained glass designer of world renown."
